BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed £1,700 a month for a one-bedroom flat in E6, up from £1,155 a month. The tribunal determined £1,250 a month from 1 May 2026, starting from £1,500 a month for the property in good order and deducting £250 a month for hidden deficiencies that are hard to remedy. It refused to delay the start date, finding the tenant's hardship statement lacked substance, and the landlord made no representations.
